bondholders, Mr. tee was wnolly unacquainted with the arrangement, as the letters Mr. Burton to Mr. Lee, now in my. possession, will show. Mr. Lee has sinminfdrmed me that he requested MN Burton when the scrip was st a premium of tor: 11, to sell the4,oooL assigned:to him, (in which it should be observed Mr. Btirton. was :jointly in, terested), and•froni what Miiiii,iwtoli:has said to Mr. Lee, as well as: `to - turtelf, by Way. of accounting for the silence he had enjoined, and from what I have heard from other parties, :t have reason to believe that Mr. Burton had sold the original scrip, and that the bonds which we took from hint : were actually :borrowed for the purpose, upon a de- , posit of Exchequer bills, and were. afterwards replaced by, other ,bonda • purchased in the market the they tow, priees. Messrs. Ricardo have the numbers of the bonds, and are, I believe,-aware of the fact. --But to proeeed-s- Mr. Burton expressed an anxione desire that his narhe should not: appear , :in the transaction. It would, he tatid, be injurious to his•eredit,. if it were known," and from the very friendly intercourse then subSisting between we had no hesitation in seceding to. hiarequest ; the money , was paid to us by Messrs.(Rieatdo, and.lVlr.

Leriottis, Deputy front Greece, &c. $40.:4c.c. ourTriday the 3d inst., Mr. Burton called upou me and retptested to have his first letter returned to lom ; he re- peated the same request to my solieitor,stt whOSO,Office he called on me a second time that day, and he urged as his rea son for wishing to have it bark, that the statement it con tained of his severe losses would, if it were ever published, be injurious to .his .credit; hesidei, he withal, that the words f‘ on oath," in the letter, Were so extremely ridien. lolls, that he should he sorry if they came before the public. The. earnesLness with which he pressed the matter, stirs prised ate, and though under other circumstances I should at once have given him the .letter,,,l hesitated to do set. Batten then said, that he had made arrangements fur leaving , town the following morning,' and should be absent for some time; but that it would be a' weight 'upon his mind if be: left ,London without having that letter de stroyed, and he again and again not only urged me, but requested my solicitor to urge me to deliver it up, or to put in, the tire; observing always, that the letter of the dal of November was to 'the same effect, and that he was read: to give any other receipts that might be wished for. I as.. sured him. that it was • not my intention to publish-it (which at that time it certainly was not) ; that what I had before written was merely -to justify niyi4elf, and to show the injustice of the report. Mr.. Burton's extraordinary impOrtueitie.s excited itt my mind tut apprehension that 'he vas aiming at ,something , . beyond What lie 'avowed. therefore promised to take the-nettter into consitlem. film, and be said , he, +Omni& mat upon me again itt the evening in.

In the evening he called, and then, instead Of renewiq his entreaty to have the letter given up, he7tnerely requesled to take a copy of it, in order that.lie might show it to his' tlither. Without a moment's hesitation I laid the letter before him'for that purpose, but no sooner had I done so, than he snatehed it up, threw it. into -- thdlite, and loft the room: As be was going out expreekd my feeling at :Such disgraceful emiduet, but added that it Ainis of very little consequence, ate I had got ri copy of the letter he had destroyed ; he made no reply, but hurried down stairs and out of doors. About a quarter of an hoist afterwards, he returned, requested to baallowed t speak to me, and on entering the room, began by expressing his deep regret for what he ' had done, adding, that he could offer:- no 'excuse for his conduct, but that he had been instigated to it by other portitst,.ond then stated . thet Messrs.

(Signed) AND. LVRIOTTIS. MM. Pigott, Andrews, and Wilks. Messrs. Pigott & Co. returned me the subjoined answer : Throgroorton-street, Nov. 6. Sir—We have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the lit instant,. with a copy ,of Mr. Lee's letter, to-you respecting theconversation between him and Mr. Burton on the subject of discount. We beg, in answer, to say, that Mr. Burton is not quite correct in:sayingite has seen our ledger, by which it appeared we: had allowed ; you five per, cent. discount on all sales made to you excepting , tit . : last. In the rfirst place, Mr. 'Burton did not see our ledger at all ; he was merely told by one Mr. O'Neill, that we had animal five per.eent..diacount on the ship 'Meta in 1824; and mi othet.We have the honour, &c. (Signed) PIGOU, ANDREWS, and WILES.' P.S. Since writing the above, we have seen Mr. Burton upon the subject of your letter to us, and we beg leaVe to enclose you a :note from him. This letter was accompanied by one addressed by Mr. Burton to Messrs. Pigou and Co., in which, after stating that his conversation with Mr. Lee had been misunder stood, he coneludes as follows :—" I find this morning, on your authority, that 5 per cent. discount was only allowed on: the first shipment, for, prompt payment ;" and in a postscript, he adds, " I think this will be satisfactory to Mr. Luriuttis; but I am. perfectly prepared to make any further explanation he may require." Considering the letter of Messrs. Pigott and. Co. (though it was an answer to Mr. Burton's representation) unsatisfactory, as it re spected the point. to which Messrs. Ricardo were directing their' inquiries, I immediately, upon the receipt of it, ad dressed to them the following letter : 29, Sackville-street, Nov. 7. GentleMer---I hie just now received yOur favotir of yesterday's date; in which you observe that Mr. Burton is not quite correct in what he said ; but the latter part'of your letter appears to me to Le expressed in such terms as to make the fact itself to which his conversation had reference doubtful. 1 must, •therefore, re quest tim• favour °f lout informing me whether you have ever allowed discount upon the sales you have made to the Greek Go vernment, except upon the gnupowder shipped per the Genii in lb 4 ? Whether you, were paid for , that shipment by Messrs. LOUgli'nen and Co. ? and whether you have ever had any private understanding with. the Deputies, or have 'ever allowed them any disconnt or eolumission upon any one of the transactions you have had with thentor with the Greek Government ? lam the more anxious to have your distinct:answer to these queries, and particu larly to the last, because I ani told that Messrs, Ricardo have had the hardihood to assert (what I declare to be totally false) that I have received front you and from other merchants with whom as a Deputy I have had dealings, some discount or privatiallowance upon the purchases.

( l On Tuesday last, our principal market ay, we had a very limited inquiry for piece , goods, and prices for almost every article in this line were rather lower than our former quotation. Pastime for exportation, which had about three weeks ago sold freely at 28d., would barely hung more than 22d., thus showing a decline in the price of this particular article during that period of full per lb. Every kind of light goods were lower in prices, particularly Calicoes for prnting, which would not bring as much as our former quotation by, 10 per ' cent. The low numbers a IN'ater Twist, which sold tolerably well last week, were still sought after, and considerable sales would have been effeetad if the holders had consented to reduce their prices ; for the higher numbers there was little or no inquiry. Since Tuesday the market has been uncomnionly Bat, and business, in some measure, nearly susi: fla ett s :l indeed the feeling is very genera l, that if the continue but for a very short time longer, prices must inevitably go still lower. Almost every description of goods may be considered to I city soine little lower than on Tuesday, and, upon the whole, we have bad cer tainly a very dull market. During the past week there has been only a moderate demand for Cotton, and prices may be considered, lower than last week. Mil. G. B. WH TTAKER. Fin--1: am desiiod ley , the Trnstws of Mi. G. B.

Captain WILLIAM ELLioTT,,C.B., arrived at Spithead on Saturday from the Coasi of Africa, whither she had carried Major- General Sir NEIL CAMPBELL, the new Governor of Sierra Leone and its Dependencies. By, her we'learn . the important news that the Ashantee Army had been defeated' in a decisive battle, in which they sustained an immense loss, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, and likewise in treasure. We understand that on the '7th of , August the Ashantee force, amounting to 25,000 'men, had ad vended to a village called Doodewert, about 25 piles from BritiSit Accra. Colonel PURDON,' Commanding .a force of about 12,000 men, composed of the troops o several Native Powers, with the whole of the Bri-- t►bh, Dutch, and Daniati troops in the Acerasi here met them. The 'attack was begun by the'Ashanteas il► the most furious manner : the contest lasted an hour, when home part of the Allied forces gave way, and the day seemed likely to be decided in favour of the Ashantees, when a reserve company of the Royal African Corps came up and opened a destructive fire of rpckets, grape and canister shot, upon the ,, eneiny. The effect was tremendous, and the Ashantees howl gave way. in all directions,•le,awing the whole of their King's camp equipage, and much' valuable booty, in the . 11311 . 6 of the Allies. Atilopget the captured arti cles is the head of the late Sir C4A LE4-MiCA Rim Y. Tha loss of the Allies' in this sangtiinarj battle was 800 killed and 2,000 wounded ; but • thik , loss was principally amongst the Na i tive forces, the AfriCan Corps having had only two men wounded. • The enemy's loss ih killed, wounded, and prisoners, was at leot 5,000. , . . ,Th'e Lively had carried Sir NE LL CAMPBELL Cape Coast Castle, but these operations had taken place before his arrival, and the despatches containing all the particulars had been previously sent off in a merchant schooner. They have not yet, however, reached Lord BATHURST'S Office. We subjoin the following additional particulars from the fiampshire Telegraph : This evening t(Saturday) his Majesty's frigate Lively, Captain William Elliott, C. 8. ,, returned to Spithead, from the coast of Africa (havingconweyed thither his Excelleuey Sir Neil Campbell, Kut.

The loess of the British forces (composed" principally of the native, tromps) Was estimated fat 800 killed, and 2,000 wounded. 'lt vsp pears that the ambitious and vindictive spirit of the' King of the Ashantees has been at work since his former defeat : with the •iussetiable desire of tenseseing all the • territory between his own country and the sea aide, he had silently been collecting men and raising supplies to etfeeteate this object, by. successively attack ing and overpowering all the native princes anti elliefteine in the British interest,' and snaking , a -surprise. upon, British Merle: It was not possible, hoWever, .to make all the necessary pre parations, form magazin es o f ,p rov isions, &c., 'lir such an object , without the knowledge of the neighbouring chiefs, whose feers at length led them to s u pplicate assistance from Colonel Purdon, eommanding at Cape Coast.

Therefore, as soon as the centre reserve (composed of the Royal African Corps) became unco vered by the flight of the refugees, Colonel Punier' opened a destructive fire ou the Ashantees of rockets, grape, and ca- ulster, which did amazing execution. Perceiving that the Ashanters were panic struck, and in the utmost confusion, Colonel Purdon moved forward to the attack with every man he ! hid, and cut through the enemy's centre t . . Tbey gttve way, in all directions, and the victory was no longer doubtful. Accatoo, Kin of Aquimboo, who commanded a strong corps of observation on the extreme right, bravely and accurately obeyed the orders he had received to.bring up his right shoulders the moment he should hear the report of the British guns, and attack theiMbantees on the left flank. This simultaneous movement with the t6r.eeS im- mediately under the directions of Colonel Purdon had the desired effect, and decided the fate of the battle. Ilakthe whole of the allied forces acted in a similar manner, neither the King of the Ashantees, nor any part of his army, would have escaped. But it is extremely difficult to prevail upon such a race of people to act upon a systematic plan of operation, if it be at variance with their own notions. The cause of their flight is attributed to this cir cumstance ; in disobedience of orders, they broke froni the line formed, and rushed into the contest in the most savage manner, without any reserve to support them, or prudence to guide, in case of mishap or difficulty. The loss of the Ashantees in killed, wounded, and prisoners, was estimated at least at 5,000 men.— Many of the Ashantee Princes and Generals were killed and taken. Our loSs is about 800 killed, and 2,000 wounded. The whole of the camp equipage, of great value, fell into the hands of some of the least deserving of the allied forces, amongst which were, the golden umbrella of state, the golden stool of state, and gold dust, ivory, and other valuables to a large amount. Adononaqua, King I of Aquapim, recovered the head of the late Sir Charles McCarthy, which was considered by the Ashantees as their greatest charm or fetish. The King refused to give it up. It is enveloped in two folds of paper, covered with Arabic characters, tied up a third time in a silk handkerchief, and lastly sewed up in a leopard's skin. It should be mentioned that the merchants of the colony Quo teered their services in the field, and gave to the gallant com mandant of the troops all the assistance it was in their power to bestow. • • • The following is a recapitulation of the allied forces :-- Men. • Royal, African Corps 6O British Dutch, and Danish Militias, with Accra and Cape Coast Militia Native troops, with their tribes 10,820 11,880 No =count had been received from Captain Clapprton since his arrival' at Eyo or Kallamga, on the 4th of March. The letter was addressed to the traveller, Mr. Houston, at Accra, who having died a short time before, it was opened by his ser vant. Captain Clapperton was quite well, and intended to pro, ceed further on the following day. The Lively left Spithead on the 20th of July ; landed Sir Neil 'Campbell and staff at Sierra Leone on the 26th of August; whence they embarked, shortly after, in the Lively,, and proceeded to Cape Coast, where they landed .on the 22d of September. Sir Neil's next intended visit was to Accra. The Lively sailed from Cape Coast on the day she landed Sir• Neil Campbell there, with duplicity despatches of the action which bad been fought with the Ashantees, the originals having been sent away sixteen days previously in a brig, which has nut yet arrived. The Lively did not fall in with any of the ships of the African' squadron. The NoriA Star arrived at sierra 'Leone 'on the 28th of August, to relieve the Brazen.

Tl►e squadron was free from sickness ; but we re gret to hear that the officers and troops at Sierra Leone were very sickly. rFourteen officers, and upwards of 00 soldiers, had died there within two months.

Amongst the foreign.news we find little to notice The intelligence from Lisbon reaches down no later than that which was previously received, viz. 25th ult., but it gives the sulistanee of despatches from General DAUN, Minister of War in the ,Algarves, of a more recent date than those before publ6h e d.

'rhe Genera addit that he had sent orders to Ayanionte for the •.', refugemto he sent to the interior' and that he had sent to Art4 ; l, monte a strong detachment of infantry and cavalry, to prevent thtv!t. dieorders which so considerable an emigration might occasion; and likewise to watch over the conduct which the Portuguese might observe on the Guadiana, if they attempted to pass that river in pursuit of the deserters. A report of General Equia, Captain-General of Gulicia, an nounces that some Portuguese soldiers had come into a Spanish village, near Tuy, and that they had (mused some disorders, and committed some excesses. It appears► that the depots of, Portuguese refugees are going to be•broken up, and that the deserters will be left at libel ty either to return to Portugal, or to settle in Spain, as they shall think proper. An express had been sent to Seville to M. Arjorra, to recall him to Madrid, where every body believes that he is to succeed M. Calomarde, as Minister of Grace and Justice.
